Environmental Controls, HVAC & Smart Room Climate

Intelligent, occupancy-aware management of room climate, air quality, and energy consumption. Deeply integrated with the PMS for real-time occupancy data, the system automates setback temperatures, restores guest comfort settings on arrival, and delivers full visibility and control.

Central HVAC Management

Centralized climate control with BMS integration and fault detection.

Centralized HVAC control dashboard for all property zones (rooms, corridors, lobby, F&B, back-of-house, function rooms)
Real-time zone temperature display and trend monitoring
BMS (Building Management System) integration: full two-way interface with Siemens, Honeywell, Johnson Controls, Schneider Electric, and Distech platforms
Chiller plant monitoring: supply/return water temperature, chiller efficiency, energy consumption
Air handling unit (AHU) status: fan speed, damper position, filter status, supply air temperature
Fan coil unit (FCU) status and control per room and zone
VRF / VRV system monitoring and zone control
Fresh air and ventilation rate monitoring (CO2 levels per zone)
Humidity monitoring and dehumidification control
Building-wide temperature setpoint management by zone and time schedule
HVAC energy consumption monitoring with efficiency KPIs (COP, EER, kWh/ton)
Fault detection and diagnostics (FDD): AI identifies HVAC anomalies before failure
Filter change alerts based on differential pressure and runtime hours
Refrigerant leak detection integration
Chiller sequencing optimization for multi-chiller plants
Demand-controlled ventilation based on CO2 and occupancy sensors
Free cooling economizer mode management (when outside air conditions allow)

Guest Room Climate Control

Smart thermostat integration with guest preference recall and multi-interface control.

Individual guest room thermostat control (smart thermostat per room: Ecobee, Nest, Honeywell, Inncom, Telkonet, GreenMind)
PMS-integrated occupancy-based setback: room automatically shifts to energy-saving setback temperature when vacant or checked out
Pre-arrival conditioning: room automatically reaches guest's preferred temperature before check-in time
Guest preferred temperature recall from profile — room set to preference on arrival without asking
In-room thermostat UI: intuitive guest interface with temperature set, fan speed, and mode selection
Bedside panel integration: temperature and fan speed control at the nightstand
Smart TV climate control: guest adjusts temperature from in-room TV menu
Guest app climate control: remote temperature adjustment from smartphone before and during stay
Voice control integration: 'Hey Google, set the temperature to 72 degrees' / Alexa in-room control
Occupancy sensor integration: room enters setback mode 30 minutes after vacancy detected
Balcony door / window open detection: HVAC automatically suspends cooling or heating when door open to prevent energy waste
Key card master switch integration: HVAC enters setback mode when key card is removed
Maximum and minimum temperature limits: guest cannot set room below 65°F or above 82°F (configurable per property policy)
Separate zone control for suite living areas and bedrooms
Do Not Disturb integration: setback temperature adjustments suspended while DND active
Guest opt-in for sustainability mode: voluntary higher setback temperature with eco-incentive reward
Engineering override: remote temperature set and override from maintenance dashboard for repair situations

Setback & Energy Optimization

Intelligent pre-conditioning and energy savings management.

Configurable setback temperature profiles: Vacant Dirty, Vacant Clean, Occupied, Checked Out, Out of Order
Time-to-conditioning calculation: system knows how long it takes each room to reach comfort from setback
Intelligent pre-cooling / pre-heating: room reaches guest temperature exactly at check-in, not an hour early
Occupancy forecast integration: pre-condition rooms based on arrival list from PMS the night before
Seasonal setback adjustment: different setback bands in summer vs. winter
Energy savings reporting: kWh saved per day, per month, per year through setback management
Cost avoidance dashboard: dollar value of HVAC energy saved through occupancy-linked control
Peak demand curtailment: temporarily raise setback temperatures property-wide during utility peak demand windows
Room-level energy benchmarking: identify rooms consuming significantly more energy than floor average
Guest impact analysis: measure guest satisfaction score correlation with temperature complaint rates
LEED and Green Globe energy reporting: automated generation of data required for sustainability certification
Carbon reduction reporting: tonnes of CO2 equivalent saved through HVAC optimization

Air Quality, Water & Additional Environmental Controls

Air quality monitoring, water management, and environmental compliance.

CO2 monitoring per guest room and public area with alert thresholds
VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) and particulate matter (PM2.5) air quality monitoring
Air quality dashboard with color-coded zone health indicators
Automatic ventilation rate increase triggered by CO2 threshold breach
In-room air purifier integration: monitoring and filter status tracking
Bathroom exhaust fan automation linked to occupancy sensor
Hot water system temperature monitoring (Legionella prevention: circulation loop above 60°C / 140°F)
Legionella management: automated flushing schedule for infrequently used outlets with compliance log
Domestic cold water temperature monitoring for health regulation compliance
Pool and spa water chemistry monitoring: pH, chlorine, ORP, temperature, and turbidity
Pool chemistry alert and automated chemical dosing system integration
Irrigation system scheduling with soil moisture sensor integration
Rainwater harvesting system monitoring (tank levels, pump status, usage tracking)
Noise monitoring in guest corridors and public areas with alert thresholds
Smoke detector, CO detector, and fire suppression system status monitoring across all zones
Environmental compliance reporting for regulatory and certification submissions
